TitleLetter from Edward Laurens Mark, 109 Irving Street, Cambridge [Mass.], to Charles Sedgwick Minot
Date10 April 1903
DescriptionThe outlook for the [Bermuda] laboratory is good, with President Eliot taking an interest, and arranging an agreement between the two universities. Notes the climate of Bermuda and its year-round availability as a work-place, together with travelling time. Mark describes future plans and finances, noting contributions from the Carnegie Institution and the Royal Society, while Harvard men would contribute too. He and Bristol have been invited to go down to Bermuda. This has nothing to do with Dr. Mayer's plan for Tortuga, which is a recent development. In a postscript, he notes that he is waiting to hear from Professor Chamberlain as arbitrator for the Walker Prize.
